Downtown:
Coping with Stagnation ... or Dealing with Adversity (Part 2)
By Michael Couros
President
 One of
the challenges that I hear many clubs face is the problem of
stagnation. Although I suspect that I may hear a collective gasp
from the supporters and fans of CPC Saskatoon, we do occasionally face
the same issue. So I have a complied a list of fun things your
club can do to combat stagnation. We've tried most of these things
with stellar results. So here it is….
CPC Saskatoon Downtown's Top Ten Ways to Fight
Club Stagnation:
-
Change the venue of your weekly meetings, but
only tell half the members. Then have fun watching who shows
up and how angry other members get for not knowing where to go.
-
Have a "Spin the Bottle" night.
Make fun of the members who attend.
-
Start a pool to determine who the next member in
divorce court will be. If your "horse" is losing,
try to do something to move that situation along.
-
Host a politically incorrect Men Only lingerie
fashion show to raise money for inner-city children (works for us…)
-
Legally change a club member's name to Lotta
Hitchminova.
-
Porn
-
Watch "Terms of Endearment" as a
group. Kick out the first member who cries.
-
Publicly "out" a member of your club,
whether he is gay or not.
-
Have a member suggest that the club should become
a mixed club. Send flowers to his hospital room.
-
Pass out a member's business card at the local
strip club with his home phone number. Ask "Bunny"
to call him at 3AM.
Oh, and I forgot one thing…
Use a lot of humor.
The club that laughs together stays together.
